How we handle bath repair in Ousby
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Ousby
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Ousby
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Also in Ousby
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
